The Transportation and Trade Corridor Alliance (TTCA) is focused on creating better jobs and higher household incomes by growing value-added industries that bring new money to Arizona. To achieve this mission, Arizona requires modern and efficient infrastructure to ensure effective connectivity to both domestic and global markets. This Roadmap provides strategic direction for the state of Arizona to maximize opportunities for trade development.

The Arizona State Rail Plan (SRP) is the first comprehensive assessment of the state’s rail needs. The SRP serves to identify the current rail system, to determine infrastructure needs and to have rail projects included in the state’s long-range planning processes to improve regional and statewide safety mobility.

ADOT's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program provides a wide variety of resources and information about biking and walking in Arizona, including places to bike and walk, how to integrate biking and walking into your commute, important laws and policies, safety issues, maps, and organizations.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration are working collaboratively with the state of Sonora, Mexico, the secretaria de relaciones exteriores, the secretaria de comunicaciones y transportes and several other local, state and federal agencies to develop an Arizona-Sonora Border Master Plan (BMP).

The study includes detailed corridor planning of a possible high-priority interstate link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, and high-level visioning for potentially extending the corridor north to Canada and south to Mexico.

Passing and climbing lanes provide additional lanes for vehicles to safely pass other vehicles while maintaining speeds. Implementing passing and climbing lane projects provides traffic operational and safety benefits at a cost that is far less than fully widening a highway. In an effort to enhance safety and mobility on Arizona's roadways, the Arizona Department of Transportation is currently updating the 2003 Passing and Climbing Lanes Prioritization Study. This update intends to further refine the identification and prioritization methodology previously utilized and to develop a prioritized list of candidate locations that would provide the most benefit to the traveling public.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is
conducting nine Corridor Profile Studies. The first three studies encompass the
entire length of I-17, I-19 and I-40 from the California border to I-17. The
studies under this program will provide a strategic vision for assessing the
overall health of the state's primary highways, assisting the agency with
transitioning to a performance-based project programming system through
targeted investments.

Arizona is in a global competition for quality jobs, economic growth, and prosperity. A strong export-based economy, supported by excellent surface transportation connections to major markets, positions us to compete successfully.

Planning to Programming Link development started with ADOT's multimodal visioning called "Building a Quality Arizona" (bqAZ), the 2010 Statewide Transportation Planning Framework Study that created a fiscally unconstrained vision for the state's transportation system in 2050. bqAZ led to "What Moves You Arizona?," the state's Long-Range Transportation Plan 2010-2035, which applied financial constraint to the vision, identifying anticipated revenues and providing a recommended investment choice (RIC) that indicates how revenues will be allocated to four different investment types: preservation, expansion, modernization and nonhighway. The third step, and subject of this report, is "Linking the Long-Range Plan and Capital Improvement Program," or P2P Link, which focuses on how ADOT and its primary business partners, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Councils of Governments (COGs), fund, build, maintain and operate the transportation system.
